    Default Indy Car

    Hi All,

    I told my grandson I would build him an Racing Car. He is into Formula One - Ferrari Fan.

    Got Plans for an Indy Car

    Never worked off plans before. I am impressed with them.

    Made a few modifications along the way.

    Thought you might be interested in my "Work In Progress"

    Keith

    Great start Keith he should be very pleased with that. It is looking the part for the race track.

    If it moves as quick as your build it will win every race

    Very nice work. Depending on how you finish it out you might add some water slide decales to really kick it up possibly with your grandson's name and in the colors of his favorite team.

    Finished the Indy Car for my 11 year old grandson. His name is Josh - hence the name on the car.

    It's OK but a bit disappointed with it. Think I would much rather build locomotives from scratch and work off photos rather than plans. Anyway that's me.

    Here are some photos

    Nothing to be disappointed with a great job Keith and I am sure Josh will be over the moon with it. It is just another great model that runs on a track.
